Zzyzx Scarecrow Lyrics
near the gateway to mojave
i saw a place
both beautiful and blistering
and cruel and cold the same
the sun was like a lion
bearing down upon its prey
death valley stained in crimson
for the moon to wash away
and i envisioned rows of gallows
for the world to look upon
one step too bringing order
to a planet tempting chaos
can you feel it coming down
the righteous wrath of God
revealed from out of heaven
for the innocent blood
crying from the ground
while the wicked seem to prosper
and glory in these days
as if their ways were hidden
as if they had escaped
we have lost our sense of justice
smearing lines of right and wrong
despising any standards
we blindly stumble on
bleeding hearts may scream compassion
what of those that cannot cry
a life is worth a life
justice...merciful and blind
innocent blood
is crying from the ground
it's coming down
i saw a place
both beautiful and blistering
and cruel and cold the same
the sun was like a lion
bearing down upon its prey
death valley stained in crimson
for the moon to wash away
and i envisioned rows of gallows
for the world to look upon
one step too bringing order
to a planet tempting chaos
the righteous wrath of God
revealed from out of heaven
for the innocent blood
crying from the ground
and glory in these days
as if their ways were hidden
as if they had escaped
we have lost our sense of justice
smearing lines of right and wrong
despising any standards
we blindly stumble on
bleeding hearts may scream compassion
what of those that cannot cry
a life is worth a life
justice...merciful and blind
is crying from the ground

This is an amazing song! It has a wicked ending. It's basically telling about how God's wrath is going to take those who focus on worldly standards...sounds like its going to suck.
The ultimate cry for poetic justice...
For those of you who don't know Zzyzx is a road that intersects the 15 nears Bakers, CA.
in this video he says that its about the meating out of justice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6u9NJeKfeg
meating or meaning, not sure...

he told me it's about this child rapist/killer who, at his sentencing, decided that instead of repenting and asking forgiveness, he said her last words were "please don't do me like my daddy." the song is about how, yes, there are evil motherfuckers on this planet. and all you bleeding heart liberals should start crying for the victims instead the criminals.
